MANSFIELD -- Eastern Connecticut State University sophomore field hockey star Hannah Keiser, a Danbury High graduate, set Eastern's single-season scoring record on Tuesday with her 13th goal of the season. Keiser's tally 22:33 into sudden-death overtime lifted Eastern to a 1-0 Little East Conference victory over Western Connecticut.

Keiser scored an unassisted goal midway through the second 15-minute overtime session to lift Eastern (8-8, 4-5) to its second 1-0 win over Western (4-11, 1-8).

Keiser took six of Eastern's eight shots, finally connecting to break the previous record which she shared with Sharon Kilpatrick.

Western was credited with the first seven shots of overtime, but Keiser connected on the Eastern's only one in the extra session.

Eastern freshman goalie Samantha Scavo -- a former Barlow High standout -- made seven saves to record her fifth shutout in 12 starts, while Western freshman Kristy Trotta -- also a Danbury High product -- made three saves.
